The Student Counselling Cell, in collaboration with the Women Cell of Law College Dehradun, organized a very enlightening program on "Indian Education System and Holistic Wellness Practices”, through Sahaj Yoga on 22 August 2024. Prof Rajesh Bahuguna, Pro Vice- Chancellor, Uttaranchal University extended a warm welcome to all the participants and introduced the program's theme. Further, he elaborated on the relevance of the NEP 2020 and Indian Knowledge System, and how traditional practices such as Yoga can be incorporated into modern education for holistic development.
Dr Neeraj Mohan Saxena explained the concept of awakening and dormant energy inside each person. He explained that stress is the reaction of the right and the left hemispheres of the brain that results in mental unrest and imbalance.
The second speaker Shri A R S Kandari, an internationally known Sahaj Yoga practitioner stated that growing competition, career pressures, lack of self-confidence, and aggression are major contributors to stress among the student community. It is in this backdrop of such stressors that Shri Kandari has offered self-realization through Sahaj Yoga to counteract the effects of stress. He taught the absolute need for "knowing thyself" and the system within us, which is created by divine energy. He also explained some of the unique features of Sahaj Yoga: simplicity, accessibility to all ages, and that one need not prepare oneself or be experienced in such matters to practice. A question-and-answer session followed the meditation, where the speakers answered several queries of the audience, further clarifying the concepts. The program ended with an overall understanding of stress and its management with the help of Sahaj Yoga.
